Electronic Warfare Advanced Technology
Abstract
This program element (PE) matures and demonstrates technologies to address the seamless integrated tactical communications challenge with distributed, secure, mobile, wireless, and self-organizing communications networks and networked transceivers that will operate reliably in diverse and complex terrains, in all environments. Efforts demonstrate seamlessly integrated communications and information security technologies across all network tiers, ranging from unattended networks and sensors through maneuver elements using airborne and space assets. Project TR1 investigates and leverages antennas; wireless networking devices, protocols, and software; network operations tools and techniques; and combines these and other technology options in a series of command, control, communications, and computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) on-the-move (OTM) network modernization demonstrations to measure their potential battlefield effectiveness. Project TR2 researches information security devices, techniques, services, software and algorithms to protect tactical wired and wireless networks against modern network attacks; generate and distribute tactical cyber situational awareness; and focuses on configuration, operation, monitoring, defense and network reconstitution in bandwidth constrained tactical environments while reducing the operator workload required to conduct these functions. Work in this PE is complimentary of PE 0602782A (Command, Control, Communications Technology), and fully coordinated with PE 0602120A (Sensors and Electronic Survivability), PE 0602270A (Electronic Warfare Technology), PE 0602783A (Computer and Software Technology), PE 0603001A (Warfighter Advanced Technology), PE0603270A (Electronic Warfare Technology) and PE 0603772A (Advanced Tactical Computer Science and Sensor Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Science and Technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work is performed by the Army Research, Development, and Engineering Command (RDECOM), Communications-Electronics Research, Development, and Engineering Center (CERDEC), Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD.
